Basic Life Support & The Safe Use of an AED – FAA Level 2 Award

Our course teaches the essential skills that an AED operator needs and gives students the confidence to know what to do in an emergency. A cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere, at any time. A person’s chance of survival falls by about 10% for each minute that passes without defibrillation. The risk of death can be reduced if you have a defibrillator in your workplace and know how to use it. If the risk assessment identifies a lower level of possible hazards then we also recommend our Emergency First Aid at Work Course alternatively if the risk is higher then we recommend our First Aid at Work (FAW) course.
